Champion Class DDG
Overview: During their last procurement phase, the Royal Seylonian Navy procured a number of Champion class domestically designed (although produced in Questarian yards) destroyers. The history behind these vessels can be found within the Seylonian Treasury. Government revenues were quickly drying up as the colony's rubber exports began to drop. This coincided with the necessity to re-procure new ships for the Royal Seylonian Navy. As the latest Questarian models were far too expensive, the Seylon Naval Yards designed a multipurpose destroyer that could be built on-budget for the RSN.

The Champion class, costing only 500mn, has the capacity to engage air, surface, and subsurface targets with VLS, Harpoons, and helicopters, respectively. Despite lacking ultra modern sensors and missiles the Champion is still able to track and shoot down the most modern of aircraft with STIR-240, Smart-S, and SM-2/3. The level of crew necessary was balanced against automation on purely a price level, and the Champion has provisions to carry marines to use the vessel's RHIBs on anti-piracy operations, which have been conducted on Seylon and neighbouring islands with increasing regularity in recent years.

The Champion is cheap and serves all purposes. It will remain in Seylonian service for at least another ten to fifteen years.

OOC: Questers, is that shipbucket? You'd better cite something, or North-Point will own your ass

Can I cite my profile on the shipbucket forums?

The Commonwealth of Tolvan is in need of a replacement to our aging fleet of Type 63 frigates and as a supplement to our force of Type 64s. As a result we again turn to the top of the line products of the great nation of Questers and its colonies. We wish to inquire as to the possibility of obtaining a license to produce the Champion class in Tolvanic yards. If this is not possible we wish to acquire a total of two-hundred and forty (240) hulls. In either case we wish to replace the Mk.41 VLS with the Tolvanic Mk.60 to ensure compatibility with current Commonwealth mssisle systems. We are of course willing to pay an additional 10% (on a per hull or on an overall license) for this modification.

We thank you for your consideration in this matter.

OOC: Nice work, simple, cheap, and effective.

OOC: Yea! It is nice! VERY nice!

The Canedian Marine wishes to buy 1. The ship will be used by pirate hunting, and it will be the most inportant ship in CM. We ofcourse thank you.
Sell me one.

OOC: Canedian n00b, what part of "no" in Quester's response to your previous attempts (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13948253&postcount=4) don't you understand? Kindly get the f--- out of this thread and stop spamming.

Questers, you have a sweet ship there, and I'm sorry for the slight hijack. I'll disappear now.

*disappears in puff of smoke*

I understand "no". But i wont accept it. I want to buy one. He only will get 500 million, i get a ship. No big deal.

OOC: Did you not notice that you were rejected the first time?

Yes i do.

OOC: Err, clearly you haven't understood the concept behind storefronts. I suggest you go read the stickies (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=543994) before posting anywhere again. You should pay special notice to "Section 1: For New Comers – The Essentials of Role Play" and "Section 5: For Sale By Owner – Various Information on Storefronts".

FYI, continuing to post and demand things in a storefront after being denied a sale can be punished by the mods if Questers decide to file a complaint, so I suggest you stop doing so.

I just want to buy one, whats the problem?

OOC: He told you no, it's his strorefront and he can do that and you can't do anything about it at all. Deal with it.

Official Communique from the Empire of the Wolf

After carefully reviewing the prerequisites to purchasing these vessels, we have concluded that our nation's combined IQ is above four and would thus like to purchase two of these fine vessels for evaluation and testing. Funds will be wired upon confirmation.

From: Grey 2487

The Dominion of Sarrowquand would like to purchase nineteen Champion Clas Budget Destroyers for patroling our waters. $9,500,000,000 Will be made available to you upon confirmation of our order. We regret to inform you though that our leader 1st Speaker Silinky does not possess an I.Q at all as she believes that it is foolish for someone who plans to live long enough for the Flynn effect to render her score ridiculous to take the test. We hope that this does not impact upon our delivery.

I just want to buy one, whats the problem?

Your RP is shitter than what leaves my dog's arse, that is the problem.

Everyone's orders are approved, but I must hammer it home: this is a budget ship people, it's not meant for line-fighting as a first-class NS Navy! If you want to retcon your orders I am still cool with that, but I must remind you that this is cheap for a reason.

I just want something cheap for convoy and colonial duty so my order stands.

Well then the Champ should suit that very well.

The Department of Defense as a purchaser for the Wolfenstein Defense Force wishes to acquire 5 vessels for use with the mentioned service.
